View Full Version : Electronics suppliers, specifically switches?

I am looking for a company that stocks switches, more comprehensively than the Rat Shack, either online or brick and mortar. Grainger does not have what I want, either. Specifically, I'm looking for a double pole keylock switch to use with my new fuel setup, but can work with a single pole. I've searched online, and what I come up with, generally, is manufacturing suppliers, not retail sites. I don't want to buy a thousand of them :rolleyes: And the retail sites I've found don't have keylock switches. I'd also entertain a locking rocker or toggle switch, but most that I've found don't work the way I want, or are huge (think: big red nuclear-missile button).

There's a store here in the Springs called OEM Parts, and they have millions of scavenged electronic parts, but not a usable keylock switch (they have one, but no key, and single pole). I'll drive to Denver to check out a place like that if anyone knows of one up there.

Thanks.

They have a ton of switches in stock...and if the don't have it, they can likely get it.

Thanks for the link. I gave them a call and they were pretty pessimistic about having it. I'll stop by next time I'm in Denver, though, and plow through their inventory.
